In Frank R. Mazzaglia’s "Local View" article [Aug. 17], "Warren waits in the wings." he says of Hillary Clinton, "Then too there’s that whispered health rumor." Was that a whisper of a rumor or a rumor of a whisper? Or maybe it was a completely unsubstantiated cheap shot by Frank R. at Hillary. "So, who knows?" as he went on to say.

I sense an underlying message in this article promoting Elizabeth Warren over Hillary Clinton because Republicans believe Warren is more vulnerable in a presidential election. I believe that, too. Good strategy, Republicans. I’d like to see McCain / Palin on your ticket again. Even Palin / McCain. Palin / Herman Cain. But I digress.

I encourage Frank R. Mazzaglia and all other MWDN writers to exclude admitted whispers and rumors from their opinion articles. There is no integrity in a conclusion based on rumor.
